Bruce Carter has served notice of his departure effective next June, his 12 year anniversary.

As I was having coffee today with our mutual friend John P a chamber staff member, I assume from their Marketing or Sales team, happened to recognize him came over and introduced herself and quietly dropped this news on our table. You'll be thrilled to know I/we volunteered your name to fill the vacancy....

I thought Bruce did a pretty good job of representing the Chamber, until the letter to Esquimalt on the sewage vote. You may remember that the Bruce Carter signed letter was sent after the deadline for any submissions. The letter was released publicly and was urging Esquimalt Council to vote in favour of rezoning McLaughlin Point. Totally on the wrong side of the issue and history. Carter has taken other positions that were also questionable. Probably time for some new blood.
